Email Scanning in Outlook (Desktop)

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I’m aware that Email Guardian is available for scanning webmail, but it doesn’t seem to offer protection for emails when using a desktop email client, e.g. Outlook.

Is there anything in Premium Security which can provide protection when using the desktop version of Outlook?

Thanks for the link. I completed the test: the email went into my ‘junk’ folder in Outlook. Is that the correct action?

you get same protection as anyone using webmail (protected by the mail provider)

Good to know, thank you.

So third party protection not required?

All mailproviders have virus/spam scanner on there mailservers so you are protected
